No information on tours in Brisbane as our principal aim today was to spend some time with family.
The captain had announced last night that we would be late arriving in Brisbane as the ship was fighting a surface current flowing South at 4 knots. As it happened we were able to make up some time overnight and we actually docked about 08.45am. I called Shirley (my sister) from the ship, as my cell phone was getting a good signal from a shore side provider, to let her know we’d meet in town at 10.00am. Shirley and Alex met us as arranged and we spent a great day in town catching up on family news and reminiscing about old times, had an excellent lunch, sampled the local beer and lost some money in the casino. Princess provided a $10 return shuttle from Fishermans’ Island (our docking location) so around 04.00pm we said our sad goodbyes and took the trip back to the ship. We omitted dinner as we had such a big lunch and after going to the evening cabaret we retired for the evening.
